To solve this problem, we use the formula:

F = G m1 m2 / r^2

where F is gravitational force, G is constant, m1 and m2 are masses while r is the distance between the two asteroids

Since G m1 m2 is constant, therefore:

F1 r1^2 = F2 r2^2

So if r2 = 2 r1:

(1,000,000 N) (r1^2) = F2 * (2 r1)^2

<span>F2 = 250,000 N</span>

<span>It was divided by 4</span>

Preston tossed a red ball upward and it reaches a maximum height of 3.0. What is the final velocity when it returns to prestons
Leokris [45]
That will depend on the units of the 3.0. We need to know if it's 3 feet, 3 yards, 3 meters, or 3 miles. Each one will have a different answer.

Two point charges each have a value of 3.0 c and are separated by a distance of 4.0 m. what is the electric field at a point mid
swat32
 <span>Place a test charge in the middle. It is 2cm away from each charge. 
The electric field E= F/Q where F is the force at the point and Q is the charge causing the force in this point. 
The test charge will have zero net force on it. The left 30uC charge will push it to the right and the right 30uC charge will push it to the left. The left and right force will equal each other and cancel each other out. 
THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION. 
THe electric field exactly midway between them = 0/Q = 0. 
But if the point moves even slightly you need the following formula 
F= (1/4Piε)(Q1Q2/D^2) 
Assume your test charge is positive and make sure you remember two positive charges repel, two unlike charges attract. Draw the forces on the test charge out as vectors and find the magnetude of the force, then divide by the total charge to to find the electric field strength:)</span>

Liula [17]
<span>A gymnast with mass m1 = 43 kg is on a balance beam that sits on (but is not attached to) two supports. The beam has a mass m2 = 115 kg and length L = 5 m. Each support is 1/3 of the way from each end. Initially the gymnast stands at the left end of the beam. 
1)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam? 
2)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam? 
3)How much extra mass could the gymnast hold before the beam begins to tip? 
Now the gymnast (not holding any additional mass) walks directly above the right support. 

4)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam? 
5)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?</span>
